People who seek to exploit others will often brag about providing them with the most basic and decent things, such as an employer that is giving its employees a barely decent salary (when forced and pressured by the employees, of course).

Dacă există prostituție profesională, există și viol profesional: atunci când șeful de proiect îți cere să termini un proiect din senin, din cine știe ce organizare proastă. Te obligă indirect, prin orice formă de manipulare, să stai peste program, să lucrezi în weekend, ca să predai.
Violul internalizat e la fel: „Aa, poate e vina mea că eram în acele circumstanțe, în birou, când s-a trezit șeful să ceară o predare inopinată”

The company I currently work for is a great example of how to destroy an engineering driven company with a great and healthy spirit by making it a sales driven company because the management started to put money over quality.

Idiots.

Some great organisational #bureaucracy at work in this station loo. There's no button. There's no evidence that there has ever been a button. But the maintainance person was obviously told that they must fit the sign, so fit the sign they did.

A photo of the wall behind the toilet in a station. A small sign reads "Flush button located behind toilet seat. Hold button to flush." It has an arrow pointing to down, but there is clearly no button and no space where a button could've been. Next to the sign sits a conventional flush lever.

Perfect record on @AirCanada - last 15 flights have had late departure. Today AC1522 YUL to YYT 30 mins late. They have the best excuses!

@Foxworth Ah, management is writing metaphorical checks that can't be cashed because they refuse to ask before making demands about what is possible. #worklife #badmanagement

#Reddit #WorldPolitics #BadManagement #Assinine

Reddit has a discussion group for world politics called.../r/WorldPolitics. Old moderators left and new mods took over. Those mods decided that all moderation was censorship and refused to delete any post. The discussion group became filled with porn and spam.

The Reddit administrators refused to do anything about it.

The people who wanted to discuss world politics created /r/Anime_Titties in protest. It is actually a thriving discussion group for world politics.

Have you never heard of V2MOM? I envy you.

Southwest Airlines blames IT breakdown for stranding holiday travelers

Have they tried turning it off and back on again?

A Southwest Airlines jet arrives at Sky Harbor International Airport, Wednesday, Dec. 28, 2022, in Phoenix.

I'm doing PoCs to solve for a very important problem, which had leadership buy-in when the project started. Now leadership has changed, and I've nearly decided on which product I want to adopt -- but new leaders won't attend the summary. And when a competing vastly inferior product invites them to a sales call, they attend. Now my entire project is in jeopardy.

@RusticXploit You are experiencing something called “Moral Injury” — the level depends upon the importance of what is being done wrong. As a dev manager at Adobe, I found relief from MI by acknowledging what was being done wrong and making sure that I (and my team) understood that the directive to do it the wrong way came from someone with authority, who I had explained the right and wrong way to do it, and had actively chosen the wrong way. #MoralInjury #BadManagement #ManagementMalpractice

@nataliexg what was the cause of the UKs low productivity prior to the current disruptions to rail travel?

I could see in my career bad designed projects going in production and failing miserably, poor choices made because they cost less (and that’s not true at all!) and people who thinks about the IT as a cost and not as an investment for their own business.

So, let me tell you something you still don’t understand: if you don’t care about the quality of the service you’re going to build and deploy, then you don’t care about your customers and their user experience with your product!

Why are you wasting your money buying a support contract from a software vendor, if you’re going to ask a consultancy firm to provide you professional and managed services?

Just adopt an open source solution and pay a consultant to support you.

Two meetings in 3 days, with the same topic but no description, one during the lunch break and the other early in the morning, to check that experienced engineers are on time for a delivery. Weird that two of them, in very important roles, are resigning #badceo #badmanagement

If your team is assigned to work on a nigh undocumented beta-tier, buggy & complex framework version (which has newer, stable *and* documented versions available) with unrealistic delivery timelines & expectations, start looking for another job.

You're being setup for failure. The stress of staying until that inevitable failure finally happens is worse than the stress of between-jobs income instability (if you can't quickly find something, do still leave, seriously).
